Beggar Su is a folkloric kung fu hero, and "True Legend" is Su's story told in epic form, from esteemed general to madman to drunkard to hero. Vincent Zhao is the titular hero, who after rescuing a kidnapped prince, returns home to his wife Ying Zhou Xun and young son, rather than becoming a governor as the prince offers in reward for his service.

Instead, he hands the governorship over to his foster brother Yuan Andy On , thinking to share his good fortune with the man he thinks of as a brother and who is in fact Ying's actual brother. He doesn't realize that Yuan is full of hatred and vengeful feelings for Su's family, because Su's father had killed Yuan's real father many years earlier, to prevent that rampaging man from killing more innocent people.

Five years later, Yuan has control of an army, and he is seeking vengeance That is only the opening section of this film, directed by Yuen Woo-Ping, who is best known in the West for choreographing the fight scenes in "The Matrix" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I find that a little kung fu fighting goes a long way, but if you're going to see a kung fu film, you couldn't find better than this.

And so begins a series of fantasy sequences using lots of wires and CGI as the hallucinating Su Can trains in various disciplines with the God of Wushu.

The best of these is probably the cudgel versus cudgel sequence, although we also get to see the two-handed sword versus iron ring and hammer versus hammer! The dream-like setting and strange, strobing frame-rate of the filming can make these scenes look like a video game at times, but there are still some entertaining flourishes.

As the increasingly dishevelled Su Can begins to master his training, we are finally treated to seeing him performing a Drunken Boxing form. Su Can eventually must confront Yuan Lie and attacks his residence armed with a Guandao.

The two assassins are among the guards that Su Can must overcome before he finally goes toe-to-toe with Yuan Lie. This fight is among the best in the film as they smash their way through pots and vases, and even fight down a well-shaft!

The drunken fist is still saved for the last quarter of the film though. No respectable kung fu film is complete without a fight in a teahouse, and this one has the great premise of Drunken Boxer versus Drunken Boxer!

These are probably the best shot fights of the movie, with the camera right in the heart of the action, following every move, but framed wide enough so you can see what is going on. For the final scenes, we see the fully fledged Beggar So performing his Drunken Form with the iron and silk elements of its grace and power. Beggar So Begins! This film is quite a tough one to review. I was lucky enough to be in Hong Kong for the Chinese New Year release of this film, and there was quite a buzz about it.

Unfortunately, both those factors are the main flaws of this movie. Yuen Woo-ping is arguably one of two or three of the greatest martial arts movie choreographers of all time. With the additional attraction of working in 3D and having CGI effects, everything also gets thrown out of the screen at nearly every opportunity in the action scenes! The end effect is that the rather obvious attempts at showing off the 3D spoil a lot of what is at times excellent and classic Yuen Woo-ping choreography.

Vincent Zhao does a fine job as the hero whose life spirals downwards, but through his devotion to martial arts manages to cling on to become the hero once more. Some of the best scenes in the film belong to Zhao, especially when he is practicing his wushu forms and some of the tender moments with his wife and child.

Equally adept in the acting and action departments is Andy On as the wicked villain of the piece. Jay Chou gives an entertaining performance and also impresses in the martial arts department, and of course Michelle Yeoh in a small supporting role, rarely disappoints. Although Jiang Luxia only has a small role as an assassin, she demonstrates the capacity to become perhaps the next big female Asian action star.

Ignore the distractions of some of the effects driven choreography, be patient with the rather sporadic pacing of the story, and there is still a lot of action and some good performances to enjoy here.
